Gareth Southgate says it is important to have “collective standpoints” between rival nations as England continue to weigh up how best to highlight alleged human rights abuses in Qatar during this winter’s World Cup.
The decision to stage the tournament in Qatar has been hugely controversial because of the Gulf nation's stance on the rights of women and the LGBTQ+ community, as well as its treatment of the migrant workers employed to build stadia and infrastructure, with a Guardian report last year claiming that more than 6,500 had died in the country since it was awarded the right to host the World Cup in 2010.
